That's exactly what i said, it's only an issue if you make it. If the battle incorporated the 3D aspect, the battles would have to drastically be re-written and that's not the point of the story, nor does the viewer really want a realistic battle. The Expanse is the only show that I know that does realistic space battles, and there's very few of them as a result. The fact most people didn't have a problem with it means your criticism is again, just a forced nitpick.
2. Ironically I was going to say you did have a point because in hindsight, yeah there was were more implied "events" are gonna happen then there should have throughout the 110 episodes, especially with the Phrezzan leader scenes. But it didn't feel like it was repeating the same old information and actually added additionally context to what was going on different sides. So your point wasn't completed unfounded let's say
3. Again this is what i mean by you don't understand Oberstein and I don't get how it's possible after reading that response. First off he's not a perfect person where he knew everything going on and the best way to solve things all the time, like yes Kircheis's death is a result of an unintended effect of his actions and so did other actions throughout the series. But his actions were done to solidify Reinhart's rule and had to take actions against anyone that could've threaten him and at the end of the series we see it worked. Oberstein lied to Reinhart about the nuclear attacks but he wasn't fired or punished because he knew someone like him was necessary. Then there's that scene where Reuenthal and Mittermeyer discussed if they could've done their own coup against the nobility before Reinhart, after he had succeeded against them. Then Reuenthal has his chance to clear things up to Reinhart but choses to go with the fake allegations of trying to assassinate him, to see if he could really take him on. Oberstein literally reprimands Reinhart's admirals for supporting Reinahart's rematch against Yang because it's just killing troops for his pride. And at the end of the series he lures himself as bait for the Terraists which lets Julian to finally put an end to them. The Lohengramm Dynasty is in the best possible clean state thanks to his ruthless actions. I can only say you didn't pay as much attention to the series as you should have since almost every line is saying something meaningful
The Alliance doesn't give hard numbers about the TOTAL number of ships they have throughout the series, just so it's fine in that aspect which your original comment mentioned. The Alliance also makes dumb choices but that's the point of the story and it's also surprisely very realistic. Usually in fiction, whenever the good guy underdogs are losing, the best and smartest commander/s are put in charge and they win as a result. But in the real world, even if you're on the weaker losing side (a certain country really fits this bill in Eastern Europe rn), you still get incompetent politicians and strategically bad military commanders.
Die Neue These is better if you watched the original first, but not superior. If you want to watch the same story again in a modern form it's not a bad option, I personally like it. They're only about halfway though just so you know.
Then the "tell, not show" aspect, which you don't understand. The story is a record of history with various viewpoints happening at the same time; it's a show of dialogue rather than battles so there's not much to "show". Again this is only an issue if you try to make it one, but it really doesn't exist.
Okay re-reading your reply while typing this, I can remember why i said what I said, you literally can't understand the world or viewpoint of others after reading your issue with Oberstein. Oberstein is a complex character and his actions make sense. He became blind as a little kid and knows he would've been terminated under the rule of Rudolf. This leads him to have resentment towards the nobility of the Empire and even contemplates of starting a revolution but doesn't because he doesn't have the charisma like Reinhart does. So once it does happen, he decides to side with Reinhart and chooses to do whatever unforgiving or ruthless he has to do, in order to make him succeed. He knew it would get him hated and targeted but nonetheless less he did it because he believed in Reinhart and knew someone had to do the dirty work. He probably had a lower opinion of himself as someone who was technically blind in the Empire, so he thought his life lesser to Reinhart, making it easier to be cruel as a result and okay with dying at the end of the show.
I'm not going explain any further your other points because I tried to answer as good faith as possible but man literally every criticism was a nitpick or a misunderstanding, and Oberstein's point perfectly highlights the issues with it.
